In Steal the Reaper, Captain Ava Tan pulled off the boldest heist in history, but her success has created a whole new set of problems. Escorting Prince Kypa and Dr. Neil Garrett to Aiwa has exposed the Reaper's potential to the galaxy. Now, the hunt is on to seize her ship. Ava and her crew must face enemies on multiple fronts. Whoever commands the Reaper will control the galaxy's most powerful weapon and determine the fates of Earth and Aiwa.

Meanwhile, the race to harvest newfound crystals on Earth is underway. Edmund Mathias, billionaire entrepreneur, is fast at work staking his claim on Challenger Deep's vast deposits. However, he soon discovers a second survivor from Kypa's ill-fated mission to Earth. Knowledge of this being's existence could jeopardize Mathias' plans to corner the crystal market on Earth. And with the threat of intergalactic harvesters looming large, Mathias must accelerate his plans to seize this opportunity before competition arrives. Failure is not an option, and no one will stand in Edmund's path to domination.
